Smith Farms No.3
Walkable and connected
Median $391K·Walkability 6.1/10·Schools 5.1/10
Smith Farms No.3 is defined by its tight layout—seven acres carved into quarter-acre lots that feel deliberately compact, the kind of platting where you notice your neighbors' choices in mailbox style. It's situated along the 68th Street and M-6 corridor, about 17 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids and a quick 13 minutes to Gerald R. Ford Airport, which means the subdivision draws both commuters and people who simply value proximity without the drive tax. Homes run around $391K, and Kentwood Public Schools serves the area. A restaurant sits two minutes away on foot, grocery stores within a manageable walk, and a park a five-minute stroll off—nothing exotic, but functional enough that you're not pretending to drive everywhere. The real character here is density without sprawl: 96 restaurants within a mile, four parks close by, and the kind of suburban setup where errands and transit access actually mean something.
